One of my visions as a psychology practitioner scholar is becoming a clinical counselor. My purpose in psychology is to help people understand their life in a clear distinct way. I specifically want to target children and, help them grow and be more than they have the potential to be. I want to focus on the child development of children based on their environment.

When I first realized I had an aspiration to have a career in social work I originally wanted to work with youth and adolescents.

Not only are mental health services expensive and not covered by many types of insurance, but mental health care providers are not always easy to find.

My career goal is to use my background in both information technology and psychology to benefit those in need and to expand mental health care services into communities that are currently lacking easy access to the services.

I was amazed because the two front desk workers were very friendly, and they worked fast to get everyone checked in even though it wasn’t but two of them. Once I got checked in, I met my intern. This was the first time I had any physical experience with Chiropractic; so, at first, I was nervous, but my intern made me feel welcomed and at ease. Everything my intern did to me, she explained it to me first and asked for my permission before she did anything. This was very shocking to me because I was not used to this type of special treatment. My intern completed my physical on the first visit, and I must say that I was
